“It’s definitely official I think in my book,” said Young, who has yet to file retirement papers with the league. “Unless we get a great opportunity, something guaranteed … other than that I’ve started moving forward in some things.”

“I love the NFL, will love the game always but I’m kind of moving forward and moving on right now.”

The 31-year-old appears to be moving on to a job with his alma mater. During an April appearance at the Touchdown Club of Houston, Young said he had an ambassador role with the University of Texas waiting for him once his pro playing days were over.

The All-America quarterback led the Longhorns to the 2005 BCS national championship as he amassed 467 total yards (267 passing, 200 rushing) and scored the game-winning touchdown with 19 seconds left as UT upset top-ranked USC at the Rose Bowl.

Following his electrifying performance in the college title game, the Madison High product was selected with the No. 3 overall pick by the Tennessee Titans in the 2006 draft. He was the league’s offensive rookie of the year and a two-time Pro Bowler before losing his job and eventually being released after a falling out with then Titans head coach Jeff Fisher.

Young signed with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2011 and served as a backup to Michael Vick. He was released during the preseason in 2012 and 2013 by the Buffalo Bills and Green Bay Packers, respectively.

On May 1, Young signed with the Cleveland Browns but was released by the team on May 12, just a few days after the Browns selected Texas A&M quarterback Johnny Manziel in the first round of the draft.

If Young’s NFL career is over, he finishes with a 31-19 record as a starter. He passed for 8,964 yards with 46 touchdowns and 51 interceptions and rushed for 1,459 yards and 12 TDs.
